It's all metal meshes and glasfiber or some times steel wool. 🙂 It's not like a air intake filter 😄

@@GermanMythbuster a DPF can use metal combs, yes, but definitely not glas fibre or steel wool. The most common version uses ceramic monoliths that are kind of fragile but mainly against hits or similar forces.

@Stefan Thanks for your comment. You are correct the the Monolith is produced from various Ceramic/ Alloy combinations. They are also usually secured within the housing (exhaust) by Glass Fibre Matting.

I can smell the chemicals through the screen

That's so true. I still drive one and had never an issue wirh this :P 😂

@@OVH_Schultz you realize a dirty dpf only makes a diesel work harder and pollute more, right?

@@OVH_Schultz it would be less harmful without a dpf considering the DEF technology we use today.

@@Napoleon_Blownapart in the uk I’ve never been declined for no cats dpf or egr probs just lazy

That will remove soot (or set the car on fire). The process in the video also removes ash.

Same at Cummins we do a regen, we high idle and over fuel for 30 minutes to get the aftertreatment temps around 550°c this burns anything left inside

@@peterhawthorn3670 also sometimes burns a hole in the ground - I've seen some excavators do a regen so hot it turns the echaust pipe bright red - scary shit that is

We do regen at Ford as well. This is just much safer and cleaner

Ash and soot are not the same thing. Soot can be burnt off through regens, but afterward, there's still a tiny bit of ash left over which consists of oil and diesel residues that won't burn (like metal oxides and stuff, I should imagine), eventually this builds up, and nothing short of flushing that stuff out will clear a DPF that's blocked up with it.

@Alexander Sterling how does burning more stuff in your engine, stuff it was never designed to burn, and sending those fumes (diluted amongst all the filthy normal fumes) magically prevent deposits sticking in a filter designed to capture...deposits? And even if it does work where do the deposits the filter is meant to capture end up?

My Mk4 2.2 TDCi Mondeo just shits out huge dark clouds when it's cleaning. Protecting the environment hardcore. 👍

@@thebrowns5337 the dpf burns the soot(Black smoke) and turns it into ash, it does that using exhaust heat. ash eventually blocks the filter and that's when you need to clean it.a working dpf does make a difference

@@CitarNosis317 That’s what a DPF does. It’s really a bit of ‘smoke & mirrors’ the idea is that the DPF catches the particulates in urban areas & then burns them off when the vehicle is on the open road. DPFs only get blocked if they don’t get the chance to regenerate

@@puiu26 while you are right it does turn it to ash the thing is though to begin with Diesel trucks exhaust fumes have always been cleaner than gas engines all that filter and shit has done is cause it to be 100x more expensive To own a diesel truck and cause them to be worse for the environment because where do you think that fluid with all that ash soot and chemical residue goes after the cleaning

This comparison, no one will show you...

Hi Michaelovitch and Tobias Harrmann, Yes this equipment has been proven, independently, to return a Monolith (filter inside) that was completely blocked with PM10 Ash and Soot (so that the engine would not run on a vehicle that had covered ~164k miles) and it was cleaned back to 98% of the original operating efficiency in comparison to a brand new unit. All in all, when we compare the prices of a new Particulate Filter against the cost of cleaning it usually works out to be a maximum of 20%. So we think the lost 2% is acceptable given the cost difference. If you would like to know more, the certificates from UNICORE are available. Kind Regard, DPF Refresh

@@dpfrefresh1185 Thank you. It would be interesting to see the compared specs on new and used one in a video.

@@michaelovitch Hi Michaelovitch, We may put something like that together in the future. We are not huge on our social media so we don't produce many videos, this video was produced to demonstrate the equipment to Garages / Vehicle owners so they can see the processes we undertake. We are considering putting together a video about how these systems work and what causes the faults as there is a significant amount of misunderstanding out there. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh

@@dpfrefresh1185 how much does that cost

The dpf sensor pipes ? The hoses to and from dof sensir to dof itself?

@kevinhancock4064 yes, that's the ones. The garage at the time would only fit the genuine Ford part but others on the Mondeo Facebook groups have used fuel line without issue. I'm not sure of the length but one pipe is 7mm and the other is 8mm if I'm not mistaken.

@RikAindow I keep meaning to check mine what were your symptoms mate ? Mine regens a bit I recall the dealer saying once about them and they can get clogged etc . I'm.happy to look at them I've not long reppaced my glow plugs

@@kevinhancock4064 the DPF will try to regenerate more often and will eventually throw on an engine warning light as the sensor won't detect the DPF pressure changing. Well, that's what I had anyway.

@RikAindow ah ok I do get more regens than I'd expect but once it regens the car is pretty nippy . Had turbo done 2 years ago or less along with new cams lifters rockers hg intake clean etc I'll check them very soon thank you

Hi Ducati SupersportsS, Thanks for your message. Removing the DPF from a C3 should be straight forward. All the engine variants are very similar. It should take you under an hour but may be more difficult if you are working on the floor. You are very welcome to get the DPF to us and we can get it back to a near as new condition (98%). The systems that can be run while the DPF is on the vehicle all try to push the Soot and PM10 Ash through the filter, which is designed to prevent the PM10 Ash from passing through it. Therefore the effects are limited and only really suitable in certain component failure situations, not after normal service operation when the PM10 Ash has all built up. You would be welcome to wait while we clean the unit or to send via courier. IF you would like to get in touch directly please call or email us. 0345 31 444 31 ask at dpfrefresh.co.uk

Hi Oh Boy, Thanks for your comment, This may have a limited benefit, however I would really recommend using a service such as ours to get a reliable result. The reasons I would be concerned about the method you are suggesting; -Soaking the monolith - Monoliths do not react well to extended exposure to moisture. Our processing method keeps the monolith soaking wet for around 20-40 minutes, it is immediately dried using a high pressure blower until it is totally dry. If you are proposing to soak the monolith, I presume you are thinking about 24-48hours and then refitting to the vehicle without drying. -Removal of Heavy Metals - Some solvents will strip the heavy metals from the monolith, meaning it will not be able to operate as designed if there are only limited heavy metals remaining. Significantly reducing the service life of the unit. -Removing the Particulate Matter - If we were to disregard the above, once all the particulate matter had been lifted by the solvent you would then need to wash it out of monolith. Low pressure washing (Garden Hose / Tap) will provide some limited benefit, but you do really require a high pressure system to clear all of the apertures of PM10 Ash, Soot etc. (NB Use of a Pressure Washer is not recommended, this applies high pressure water to a very limited surface area. We have seen the surface of many monoliths cut to bits where a car pressure washer has been used to try and clean the monolith, our system floods the monolith housing and then applies the pressure, this means there is no single point of contact and ensure the structural stability of the monolith). Kind Regards, DPF Refresh.

Hi Carlito, Thanks for your message. Our system is a closed loop, meaning the water (and chemicals) are filtered and then recirculated. The system has a sump of around 180 litres. This is changed every 150 cycles (DPF/SCR cleans). The old water and chemicals are sent to a specialist contractor to be processed and to remove all the chemical elements. This is a very ecological friendly system. There are other systems that to discharge all waste liquid and to not filter it. I hope this helps. Kind Regards.

@Alexander Harispuru, Thanks for your comment. Yes, you do need to carry out the adaption processes once a unit has been cleaned. It should essentially be treated as a 'new' unit. It is important to complete these processes as the ECU calculates the relative impact level (saturation of the filter) with multiple factors usually including journey type, duration, interval between oil changes and many other factors as-well as the obvious sensors ie the differential / back pressure sensor and temperature sensors. The adaption process reset all of these calculations. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh

i dont think theres fuel cleaners in water as those canisters react harshly with them

Just cut it it’ll run better without it

So I have a similar car and I really wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you don’t let your car get hot. If it’s hot it’ll burn off everything in the dpf system. They have to do this because they were most likely idleing for awhile and not letting their exhaust get hot enough to burn all the stuff out.

The car will let you know

Are you really working there and don't know that every manufacturer uses regeneration cycles (which the shown method is not replacing)? This is a method to clean filters after years of usage that are blocked by ash and other residue which will not be affected by thermal regeneration.

@@stefan514 yeah, I also thought the ash doesn't just disappear in regeneration and has to be cleaned with a method like shown in the video.

@Peter Hawthorn Thanks for your comment. Yes, that would be an interesting comparison. I would expect the thermal treatment would yield a less effective result on a Monolith that had covered a significant distance but similar results for a vehicle that has blocked due to component failure (IE EGR Valve)/ Passive Regeneration that was prevented due to another fault. The reason behind this is that the Monolith (filter) is designed to trap any particulate that has cross section of 10 nanometers or greater as so the matter cannot be exhausted. When a Monolith is regenerated (burns the soot content off) and creates a by product call PM10 Ash, that is Ash that is 10 nanometers or greater in cross section). Overtime the PM10 Ash slowly lines the channels within the Monolith. The Temperatures that can be achieved on a vehicle (usually circa 1000Deg C to 1200Deg C) are insufficient to breakdown this matter to allow it to pass through the monolith.

@@stefan514 he also burns the ash 🤦‍🤣

We usually use the liquid for approx. 150 cleaning cycles before renewing the liquid and filtration. Both are sent to a specialist for correct processing and disposal (as you would use for Oil contaminated Water etc).

Hi theproduct456, Thanks for your message. No this is a perfectly safe method for cleaning the monolith that is in the filter. It is important to note that this is not the same a putting a home pressure washer over the monolith. That will cause significant damage as the forces are concentrated without supporting the surrounding structure. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh.

Hi Vondu Widow, We use a Bi-Phasic liquid with Catalyst to safely clean the monoliths. The Bi-Phasic liquid is a water based product. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh

You can buy this type of additive that you mix with water

Hi TNT Zimmerman, Thanks for your comment. This example does show all the steps, although the durations of each have been reduced for the purposes of the video. In practice the process takes between 1-2hours for this type of filter depending upon how blocked the monolith is. In this example there is not a NOX sensor fitted to particulate filter section of the exhaust. To give you a more generalised answer; When the sensors are left in the unit, there is no need to remove them as the cleaning process poses no risk to the viability of the sensor, it is then subject to the same drying process as the monolith. If sensors / balance pipes etc have been removed then we do need to block any apertures that are before the monolith. This is because the back pressure is required to get the most effective results from the bi-phasing fluid. All apertures that are post monolith have no effect on the cleaning process. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh.

Much like the fabled atm machine

I know what’s inside them that pressure can damage internals & cause more problems ie light on

It's supposed to clean itself, you obviously don't drive your car properly. Drive down the motorway at 70 in 3rd gear for half an hour and it'll clean itself out from all the heat. Or remove it, both work brilliantly

@@georgecroney6168 many of garages tried to force a regen on mine, it just didn’t work, all of those garages also told me it was a consumable part also, I had one in my last car and it wasn’t a problem whatsoever but the problems this time around means I’ll avoid getting another diesel

@@liamrobinson3161 Hi Liam Robinson, Thanks for your comment. The Monolith (Filter Element) is designed as a cleanable filter and with correct maintenance will last the service lift of a vehicle. I would suspect the issue you faced was a build up of PM10 Ash (this is the by product from the regeneration process and cannot be exhausted from the Monolith as it is too large (10Nanometers +)). In our experience there are very few garages out there that have a correct understanding of these systems and how they work. If you were to find yourself in a similar situation, I would advise you ensure the garage checks the operation of all the related sensors (checking the voltages returned in various states of load, not just looking at them via diagnostic equipment or relying of fault codes) to ensure they are operating within specification and only then to look at cleaning the filter. We see multiple vehicles a week where is an electrical fault and there is no requirement to clean the Particulate Filter. If you have any further problems or questions please let us know. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh.

@@lesliewelch6551 this is what I also figured out, so this is progress? Haha

@@lesliewelch6551 they already said its a closed loop system

@ D N If well maintained Particulate Filters will not need to be replace during the lifetime of the vehicle. These filters block for two reasons; a) Natural Service Life, As the filters repeatedly regenerate as residual product (PM10 Ash) is left trapped in the filter. Eventually this will reduce the flow to the point that the filter cannot process the volume of exhaust gases and faults will be raised in the Engine Control Module. b) Fault Preventing Regeneration, The Particulate Systems are very heavily integrated in to surrounding systems. There are many faults that will prevent the regeneration conditions from being met and therefore prevent regeneration. If enough regeneration cycles are missed the filter will block with soot from the engine and in turn prevent further regeneration. Whatever the cause, our system removes all of the soot, PM10 Ash etc from the monolith (honeycomb inside) and leaves us with a nearly as new DPF. There are only two instances where the DPF cannot be recovered; saturation of oil and structural failure of the monolith (collapse).

Just chop the bloody thing out and it wont need replacing, or cleaning.

Hi RotecRI9, Thanks for your comment. When we mount a unit onto our equipment we are, as you suggested, going from exhaust side to inlet side. This allows us to remove the Soot and more importantly the PM10 Ash that otherwise could never be removed. Our equipment is uncommon in this sense as the majority of similar systems, including all on-vehicle variants try to push the PM10 Ash out of a filter monolith that is designed to retain it. In respect to your other point, in our application this simply isn’t true. Our equipment has been developed using the patent that was created by the PSA Group during the original development of the Particulate Filtration System and is the only approved method to remove Soot, PM10 Ash and Cerina without risk to the monolith. Furthermore our system has been independently verified by UMICORE as returning a completely blocked monolith to 98% of it original operating efficiency. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh

@@dpfrefresh1185 There's always an 'expert' who knows better than the people who developed the system and use it daily.You guys are saving the planet in many ways.

@Andrew van Leeuwen, Thanks for your comment. When a Monolith is regenerated in situ, as in your example, the Soot content can be regenerated but the by product (PM10 Ash) is too large to be exhausted and builds up within the Monolith. The method demonstrated in the video, removes off of the Soot and PM10 Ash, getting us back to 98% of the original efficiency. This method is also appropriate for instance where the Monolith is so saturated that the Passive / Active Regeneration Cycle cannot process the Soot content. Both methods have their places depending upon the application.

Hi Mustapha, Thanks for your comment. The standard pressure and temperature sensors are absolutely fine to undergo this process. As the sensors are unpowered during the cleaning process and fully dried thereafter there are no adverse effects. We have cleaned hundreds of these units now and have not had any adverse effects reported by either our workshop technicians or trade customers. One notable exception to this rule would be NOx sensors and similar 5 wire monitoring equipment. The sensors on these units are still fine to clean/dry but some of the control modules can have vulnerabilities to moisture ingress at the loom multi-plugs. Kind Regards, DPF Refresh.
